Route Planner: Trip Times & Landing Prep

The Moon–Aundara run at ~65 km/s takes about 22 minutes — this page estimates the trip from your cruise speed and keeps every confirmed planet, station and landing number in one table. Tick off the places you have visited and the list remembers in your browser.

Visited	Planet / body	Type	How to get there
	CONFIRMED	Planet — start	Every save begins in the Earth headquarters garage. First contracts are courier and delivery runs — make sure cargo fits and the cabin is sealed.
Known numbers No approach numbers needed — you spawn at the pad. Landing notes — Notes A drum-kit easter egg hides in headquarters (reachable in Fly Mode); Earth mission text hints at it.
	CONFIRMED	Planet — first hop	The first destination after Earth. Fly out, flip around, and brake down into its thin atmosphere. It is a fictional Moon — it has thin air, lakes, trees and mammoths.
Known numbers Start the reverse burn around 5,000–6,000 m/s; cross the atmosphere at roughly 800–1,200 m/s; cut thrust around 2,000 altitude. Landing notes Route to the lit side — Moonstep base is there. The unlit side is very dark and landings go blind. When the soundtrack shifts as you close in, that is the braking cue. Notes Big-battery mission on the dark side; a mammoth catch needs a medium Gate part (press T in front of its face); the climate-anomaly mission permanently changes the Moon’s water and atmosphere.
	CONFIRMED	Planet	Sits behind the Moon — head for the far side and look for a small dark grey-brown dot. The long-range rangefinder cannot reach it, so the community uses a zoom camera plus a monitor crosshair, or rolls ~45° with Earth’s shadow as the reference.
Known numbers ≈ 22 min direct at ~65 km/s with medium electric thrusters (player-measured). Patch 1.0.005 shortened the Moon–Aundara distance from 115M to 95M. Keep ~25k while travelling, and be near ~1k at atmosphere entry. Landing notes Cut thrust around 2,000 altitude before entering the atmosphere. Space GPS (1.0.104) gives distance, longitude and latitude relative to the Sun when the rangefinder cannot lock. Notes Under Prime base is the delivery target of the experimental-thruster mission — the mission thrusters stay on your ship after you land. Landing here permanently unlocks Aundara as a departure point.
	CONFIRMED	Ringed planet	The next stop after the Moon’s missions, per launch-week streams. Flew to via the interference-signal hunt — work the signal up while flying around the planet.
Known numbers Descend when the signal reading reaches roughly 0.0034. Landing notes The signal source sits in the lit-side baobab crater valley. Fly slow and read the instrument instead of chasing a marker. Notes The Tree Lid mission here grants 1× Space GPS (patch 1.0.104). Planet Stations act as save points and garages.
	CONFIRMED	Planet	Beyond the Moon on the tuned route set. Named alongside the sun and the red dwarf as confirmed locations.
Known numbers The Moon–Basalt leg is about 99% safe from solar storms since patch 1.0.008 — the developer’s note leaves a tiny residual chance, so read it as “almost never”, not “never”. Landing notes Treat solar storms as a live hazard — a ship caught in one on a close route can burn.
	PLAYER-REPORTED	Water planet — player name	A smaller water planet further out — reached via a submarine-delivery mission. “Pandora” is the community’s name for it; the official name is unconfirmed.
Known numbers The delivered submarine is rated to 5,000 m depth. Landing notes — Notes Completing the delivery unlocks floodlights and ballast for the sub.
	CONFIRMED	Star — hazard	Whether the sun itself can ever be reached is not confirmed — in the demo it was a background object.
Known numbers — Landing notes — Notes Heat hazard: a ship caught in a solar storm on a close route can burn.
	CONFIRMED	Star — hazard	The second star body named in the confirmed locations set.
Known numbers — Landing notes — Notes Heat hazard, same rules as the Sun.
	CONFIRMED	Base	Confirmed by patch 1.0.009 — route and requirements are not yet confirmed.
Known numbers — Landing notes — Notes Watch future patch notes; nothing about its approach has been verified yet.
	COMMUNITY	Planet — unverified	Named in early planning threads.
Known numbers — Landing notes — Notes Could not be re-verified — treat as community talk until an official source names it.
	COMMUNITY	Planet — unverified	Named in early planning threads alongside Marretti.
Known numbers — Landing notes — Notes Could not be re-verified — community-mentioned, not confirmed.
	DEMO EVENT	Demo-era event	Limited-time demo events — the water planet from Fred’s Quest is not part of the official 15.
Known numbers — Landing notes — Notes The blue-star finale art survives in the official news feed; the event itself ended before launch.

Moon → Aundara trip estimator

95M game-distance (patch 1.0.005)

Your cruise speed (km/s)

≈ 24 min

straight-line estimate at 65 km/s — braking and energy losses add time

Reference runs (player-measured): fast ship, direct ≈ 20–22 min · keep ~25k and be near ~1k at atmosphere entry ≈ about 1 h · slow ship up to 2 h, or ≈ 30 min with the Brake System (BPS).

How this page is checked

Everything in the table comes from the site’s verified pages — planets and locations and the Aundara trip guide — which are built from the Steam store page, official patch notes, Steam discussions and player-measured reports. Where a number is not published, the row says so instead of guessing: the complete official list of all 15 planet names has never been published, so anything unverified is labelled community talk.

The estimator uses the patch 1.0.005 distance figure (95M, shortened from 115M) and your own speed readout. At ~65 km/s it returns ≈ 24 min, matching the player-measured ~22-minute direct flight; at the commenter-recommended ~25k cruise it returns about an hour.
